The Wedding was to be held at Sea Gull Cove, on the beach of Erroterra. The very place where both the sun and the moon set after their time in the sky. The cove was the connection between the moon and the sun, the Male and the Female. But today as one would set, and the other would rise they also stood as witness and testament to the binding of a man and a woman in marriage, their eternal bond of love, of dedication, of caring. Today the two great orbs in the sky were blessed to be the witnesses of a wonderful and beautiful ceremony.
The two cousins, Ranya and Khalida, had come down earlier to set up the area for the wedding as soon as they heard about the wedding. And one had to admit, they had done a wonderful job.
The had conjured up seats and placed them in a semi circle around a large stone alter that Khalida herself had crafted from the ancient magic of Avalon. At the base of each row of seats, and over the entrance arch way, flowers of every kind under the sun had been carefully placed. The altar was covered except the top with white and red roses blooming.
The path up to the altar from the entrance arch was coated in rose petals, red and white, and was lined with Fireflies of every color imaginable. Fireflies also nested in the flowers all around, as well as the arch, lighting the whole area with a soft glow. on the other side of the central arch stood two horses, both pure white and one being Maya's unicorn, with roses braided into their manes, and ribbons of black into their tails. The only tack they wore were bridles weaved out of gold and white ribbon.
((you're turn Pip))

((ok, thx))
Back in his dormitory, Peregrine tugged a white shirt over his head. It had a high collar and the fabric had been ironed and pressed down. He had washed his hair, which was unusual, and brushed it (which was also out of the norm). He hadn't noticed, but his skin looked smoother and more free of scars which really turned out to be dirt and his hair was a slightly lighter shade of brown.
Over by his bed, he had left his best pair of boots. Black leather and polished until they shone, Peregrine had put his gleaming spurs on the heels for the occassion. Over his white shirt, which he belted with a silver belt, he pulled a vest of scarlet and silver over the white shirt. Instead of his usual black breeches, he wore pants the color of a fan and finally a long black cloak with a silver clasp. As an after thought, he pulled on his black leather gloves that he used only for special ocassions.
Vollo was saddled in a clean (also an abnormalty) saddle with a white saddle pad and a black Dressage bridle lined with white piping along the browband and the noseband. He also wore a cheststrap for the occassion. He had been given a bath by Peregrine until his ebony coat shone, much to Vollo's displeasure. Even now, he was standing there with his eyes slightly pinned, looking grouching.
Peregrine fought back a laugh as he picked up two books: The Bible and the Laws of the Silmaril and shoved them into his saddleback along with his fiddle. Then Vollo started forward and set off at a canter towards Sea Gull Cove.
"Slended work." Peregrine said as he rode up and dismounted, assuming that either Ranya or Khalida would be there.

"Thanks Pip", a voice said from behind him. Ranya came cantering up on her newest horse, Surion, riding side saddle. "God I hate these things", she muttered with a laugh as she dismounted. The 1/2 veela was dressed for the occassion in a long silver dress with red trim. And that was a rare sight seeming as she wasnt a great fan of dresses. Her hair long hair was tied back in a french braid and a small white rose was pinned at the top.
Ranya had managed to get over her habit of biting her nails to some extent since she now had long nails that were painted red. Her horse Surion had been washed and groomed and stood there proudly, wearing the red and black tack that had come with him.
The girl smiled and tied Surion up to one the hitching rails. "I couldn't believe it when I heard", she said with a laugh. "After all this time... Maya and Armond. Finally tying the knot".
((hmmm..... will Maya take Armonds name... or will she not? *no pun intended*))

Peregrine nodded,
"Yeah, I kept wondering too, except I kept on getting reports from Diamond my friend, it just makes be wonder how she went to intamete details like she did." Raising his eyebrows meaningfully.
((*shugs* Its up to you guys, but if it was me, I'd say yeah, she should))

Ranya gasped and turned around, shocked but not surprised. "You serious?" she asked with a laugh. "God... doesn't that girl have a life?" She shook her head and started walking down the pathway between the seat, checking the flowers and changing them over if need be.
"Seriously", she laughed. "That girl spends more time spying on others than she does training".

Armond rode up to the wedding on Shadowmare who had been washed and was wearing Battle armor. It was shiny and had been polished the day before. Armond himself wasnt wearing his armor he was only wearing a long white shirt and black pants. His boots where polished and his short military cut hair was washed. He looked actually nice and not so mean looking in his amor with all the spikes on it. His sword was hung on his side and had been shined. He wore a black vest over the white shirt to match the pants. Armond tied shadowmare to the post with the other horses and went up to Alex.
"I cant thank you enough for doing this. I still cant belive she said yes..." Armond was riddled with anticipation. He wanted to see Maya but he couldnt, Not till it was time for the wedding.

Ranya smiled at Armond brightly. "Dont worry Armond", she said. "She'll be here. Especially with Khalida on her case". Then she realised that she was practially a stranger to him. "I'm Ranya by the way", she said with a laugh. "Ranya Alexandrine. I'm Pip's second cousin".

"So is there anything I can do to help around here? And this place looks great!" Armond looked around the area and marveld at its gloryness.

Peregrine luaghed, but not unkindly, "That girl is probably the most dangerous and well trained knight around." He said, speaking of Diamond. "My pleasure." Peregrine said, referring to Armond thanking him about marrying them. "So, do you have a best man?" He asked casually.

A young boy by the name of Chip Robin was riding his grey Welsh pony, Napolean, along the countryside, he had received the invatation and, in his mind, automatically connected weddings with good food and plenty of it. He smailed charmingly as he rode up to the three people who were already there.
"Greetings." he said.

Ranya smiled at Chip and excused herself to go set up a couple of tables. She conjured up two table clothes made of gold silk and spread them out and with a simple (yet effective) spell several platters of food appeared with covers sitting over them. She nodded in satisfaction and walked over to the horses, giving each of them a sugar cube.
Then she walked back over to the others and handed Chip the last sugar cube. "For your horse", she said kindly. She said horse instead of pony... it was like referring to a child as a kid. Annoying for some... appropriate to others.

"Thanks, M'lady." Chip said politely as Napolean chewed the sugar cube in the rudest way possible. Chip dismounted and casually threw Napolean's reins over the saddle pomel and walked over to Ranya.
"May I help?" he asked. Napolean took this oppertunity of his master's absense to fall asleep as quickly as possible, snoring loudly.

A loud snort announced the arrival of Zaynah Bahiya and Chris Black. ((too lazy)) Outlaw was trotting along, lifting his hoofs up high. Diablo on the other hand was walking calmly, not bothered by the other stallion.
Zaynah smiled at Chip and dismounted with a nod to Ranya. "G'day Rani", she called out. "You alright?"
Chris followed suit and led both the horses over to the hitching rail. He smiled at Ranya as he walked past.

A youth dressed in a white shirt with a long black coat and long black pants, rode up on his grey Andalusian mare, Opera, whose long grey mane was flowing due to the grooming he had put into it. His own tall black leather boots had been polished and his spurs gleamed. He dismounted and left Opera by the hitching rail after a hasty pat on the neck.
The first person he saw was Ranya, but he quickly turned his away and walked in the other direction.

Ranya frowned and didn't take notice of Scipio. If he wouldn't acknowledge her then she wouldn't acknowledge him. "Hey Chris", she greeted as past him, carrying a large cake. "Yeah I'm alright Z". Khali.... not everyones here yet. Stall abit she sent to her cousin in haste. Ranya smiled at Chip. "Sure you can little man", she answered. "Can you go get the goblets from Surions saddle bag? He's the big grey over there".
Will do Khalida replied and slowed Kuchi down to a steady trot. Maya followed suit and frowned. "Why are we slowing down?" she questioned. "We're gonna be late". "Fashionably late", Khalida said covering her ass. She couldnt let the dryad know that she was stallion. Maya seemed to believe her. "I'm so nervous", she said, her voice and hands shaking. Khalida smiled. "Dont worry.... I was the same at my wedding".
Maya nodded and fell silent. "Khalida?" she asked after a moment. "Yes?" "Will you be my maid of honour?" Maya asked quietly. "I need a married woman for tradition". Khalida smiled and nodded her agreement. "Ofcourse", she answered and kicked Kuchi to a canter again. "I'd love to". Maya sighed, glad that was out of the way and followed after her.
